The rationale, when one is offered, is that having cash on a premises increases the likelihood of a break-in. One assumes that this risk is real. Needed is an anonymous payment card - something like a universal gift card that can be purchased for cash, preloaded. I&#39;m not aware of any in our market. Transit agencies should be creating fare cards that can do this - they could then take the vendors&#39; cut. But other than the Octopus card in Hong Kong, I haven&#39;t seen anybody doing that. 2025-01-17T17:24:40Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsv59glya9w6m6m2fmexmzvszp9s5rwfmhpnpakuj3v3mx09y8wz4szyr0248fp9v57l80r4zvav2jcal2mpqaqlwet2znu9sxrqd2nalac5qumzaq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfqtswm6e540gmh5f9zdapllnwp2fuc2e66pmqxk90syedp0wwlpgs7ktjs'>nevent1q…ktjs</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ve been using Proton as my main email service for several years, and I haven&#39;t noticed any other outages. 2025-01-10T18:56:09Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs86nfwwkecf6h0kjeykq3qktps4c5wcks7hwzha8kqe583nxll9eczyr0248fp9v57l80r4zvav2jcal2mpqaqlwet2znu9sxrqd2nalac58wshe0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdddsqu7s66cl2raplymwqjexx6tnr8hyutepfc0gka2d6j0g2jvsexxx6e'>nevent1q…xx6e</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>They say mail is back and calendar will be soon.
